There are also a wide range of tasting notes and cocktail recipes as well as many more fascinating facts on Scotch whisky exchange.

One of the most interesting features is the Whiskypedia. Here a person can find anything he wants to know about whisky distilleries and brands available. There’s also information on the whisky producing regions of Scotland and new distilleries and whiskies.

It is planned to expand the information and add new sections.

Dave Broom, the site’s main contributor, said: “We want it to be a site where whisky geeks (and we include ourselves as such) will find the detailed information they desire. As importantly, however, this is a site where the whisky newcomer is welcomed, a place where they can start their whisky journey. It also places whisky in a wider context, as a spirit which comes from, lives in and influences a wider culture.”
